Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Buxus sempervirens 'Krossa-Livonia'. X 8/4/71 Henry Hohman to Henry T. Skinner. For additional letters from HTS to HH and Burdette L. Wagenknecht, see NA 29692 dated 8/31/67. [Preliminary SSR analysis showed this accession to be Buxus microphylla var. japonica, but the final analysis placed it squarely in B. sempervirens; it is now believed that rather than being intended as a cultivar name, the plant had simply come from plantsman Gus Krossa of Livonia, Michigan and the "name" was only used as a device to maintain this information with the plant material. -SBL]
